Filters

Filters can be used throughout the design, evaluation, sequencing, scheduling and reporting processes associated with underground planning.

Adding attributes to a design allows subsequent filtering of the data, and reporting in Studio UG . This improves the usefulness of the information available in the design files to create any rules that only apply to a specific subset of data.

Attributes provide 'pointers' to different characteristics of the design files, so they can be easily located during the planning process.

For example: An *FXS file and a *WFM file are different design types, but some parts of them will share common characteristics like the level or the mine zone to which they belong. A filter will allow you to treat everything that falls into the filter criteria as the same for a specific purpose

Filters are used to create the naming convention, define the interrogation rules, select derived activities properties and create dependency (sequencing) rules (e.g. the stopes of different zones will use different block models for the geological interrogation)

You can filter outgoing data using a multiple criteria filter expression (e.g MINEZONE=SOUTH AND LEVEL<900 and so on). The filters are defined using the Edit Filters panel.
